      I would say it is outdated. Last updated in 2009, and the author hasn't added to this thread since Oct 2010.

      Has anyone tried to contact the the author?

      So, what does everyone use to sculpt? I need to make a bush/hedge. I don't want it to be all boxy, what can I use?

        Many use Artisan by whaat, or ThomThom's Vertex Tools. These are both very reasonably priced, and, I think Artisan has a demo offer.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          TT's vertex has a trial, thx. Waanna learn how to use these things, and see if they will work for me/my project before paying $40, and I had problems getting artisan to do anything, it just stayed grey like i had already used up the trial. I'm gonna try Vertex tools, which I had no idea were similar to artisan

            While looking for directions on the use of vertex tools, I realized that the sandbox tools seem to be at least a minimal version for doing this type of work. Anyone like me, that didn't know this, use the free and native tool by enabling it in window/preferences/extensions, then enable the toolbar in view.

              The Sandbox tools work only in the Z direction. But you can do your "sculpting" on the ground group, then tilt it up when you need to.

                the Sculpt Tools plugin is in .rb, but sketchup pro can't install it. It seems that I can only install .rbz...
                Can anyone teach me how to install .rb file in sketch up pro? Thanks a lot!

                            checking artisan it only seems to have a relax selection function is it possible for anyone who is savy with ruby script to pull the smooth brush out of this set and make it available for 2015??

                                    There is no license attached to this which allows anyone to extract or reuse any code.
                                    You might try to contacting the author directly via email and ask if he'd be willing to open source it.

                                    Short of that... grab a copy of SU2013 Make.

                                      What function includes this 'Relax Brush' ?
                                      There are several candidates...

                                        In the initial post by BTM he seems to give permission for alteration/fixes.

                                        the specific tool i want is the smooth brush, which works very much like the 3ds max relax brush, essentially just averaging out the distance between vertices to variable strengths.

                                            I looked at the code and it was a simple fix to make its loader >= v2014 compatible...
                                            The updated version is in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=btm_Sculpt_Tools_Files Although I suspect after six years there will be more up to date / better Plugins - like 'Artisan' ...

                                            Please test and report back I have NOT tested it intensively 😮
